ESVD needs to change from an English Charity to a Luxemburgish society for many reasons. It will be voted during the 28th AGM in Barcelona on the 20th of October 2012. A vote by proxy will be organized for those who cannot attend, giving each of you the opportunity to express your choice.

On 31 August you received from the ESVD Secretariat an e-mail, which contains a link and a personal username and password, with which it is possible to check and renew your ESVD Membership for 2013.
